Framed by a five-piece band, James’s talent is undeniable as he performs Train Wreck , Sober , and Sermen .

His voice particularly shines during a special acoustic version of Safe Inside – a song he wrote about his sisters, who he tells the crowd, mean more to him than anyone in the world.

A welcome addition to his set was a cover of Clean Bandit’s smash hit Rockabye , the song that ironically, knocked James off the top spot in the charts at the tail-end of last year.

He closed the set – following a very short-lived en core – with his biggest hit to date Say You Won’t Let Go, which actually had people slow dancing in the crowd.

James is about as far removed from your polished X Factor winner as you can imagine, but in the best possible way. His return is clearly an extremely welcome one for his fans. And long may it continue, he has a voice that deserves to be heard.
